Podolsky Recitation Schedule

 

This schedule is appropriate for recitation sections D11 and D12 only.  In recitation you will conduct two major projects and a smaller in-class project. Although some of the work on these projects will be completed in groups, you will be graded individually on DQs, worksheets, quizzes, and written assignments. Due dates are noted below; additional details will be given in class.  Use this link for readings and DQs used in the recitation (user: biol211; pwd on your syllabus).
